That is a nice warranty, but then I'm looking at 3 or 4 grand just for the tranny and no work.

I'm liking that monstertrans deal, 3 yrs if I get the tranny and converter from them. and rated to handle 500HP...

If you're going to get a 4L60E from Monster, why not pony up a few bucks more and drop in a 4L80E? What else would be needed to upgrade?

 

[BattelWagun]

I believe the harness and control module are different. Anybody know the specifics?

Actually, just looked it up. I think the 80 is a lot more work than its worth for me.

these guys sell reman with warranty and free shipping

dont even look at those..they are complete shit..do a google search on them..shady company and many complaints..performacnetrucks.net has a big thread on them..

either find a local builder, or hit up FLT or Performabuilt trans

I was actually just reading about them.... It appears that if you get any major problems you're SOL. I'm looking at performabuilt transmissions too now after reading about them on performance trucks.net. Anyone have experience with these?

 

[Nickleahy23]

lots of guys are running them..seels to be a very well built trans and very few have problems

I was actually seriously considering them until I got quoted for repairs today. I took it to a guy who knows what he's doing, he looked at it and said my planetary gears pretty much fractured and exploded... great.

So I will be getting a full rebuild performed
-new revised GM sunshell
-new electronics
-(possibly) 5 pinion planetaries
-new friction materials all around
-any other revised parts etc...
anything I'm forgetting?

I'm looking at $1750 for all this including tow and labor.
